WHAT IS BESHARA?
Beshara is a name for…
- the perspective that there is only one unlimited existence, expressing itself infinitely as a gift of love;
- the realisation that self-knowledge from such a unifying point of view results in an understanding of the whole, by the whole;
- the wisdom that is at the heart of all the great spiritual and religious traditions.
The word Beshara is originally Aramaic, and its meaning can be rendered as “good news”; it indicates the very positive and valuable effect that any movement towards a more inclusive and harmonious perspective represents.
Beshara courses, events and study groups are regularly held online and in various locations around the world to support each person’s journey of self-discovery. Beshara Publications offers a unique catalogue of timeless books that offer insight into humanity’s place in the universe. Beshara Magazine is a non-profit, digital publication that presents ideas of unity, inclusion and interconnectedness in all areas of contemporary thought, from spirituality to science, economics and the arts…
